Rear-front Memorial, War memorial in Magnitogorsk, Russia
The bronze and granite monument features two 15-meter statues representing a worker and a soldier, with the worker facing east and the soldier west.
The memorial, unveiled in 1979, stands as the first part of a Soviet tripartite group connecting Magnitogorsk, Volgograd, and Berlin through symbolic sword monuments.
The monument displays 14,000 names of Magnitogorsk residents who perished during the Great Patriotic War, making it a central location for remembrance ceremonies.
The memorial site remains open throughout the year without entrance fees, allowing visitors to explore the grounds and examine the architectural details.
This memorial forms part of a narrative about the Victory Sword, which metallurgists forged in Magnitogorsk, raised in Stalingrad, and lowered after victory in Berlin.
